At work we are always looking for more ways to fix things so we have Mig, Arc and have recently added Tig - whilst looking at welding videos on Youtube I came across plastic welding so we got all the gear for doing that - fine stainless mesh and universal fiberflex carbon repair sticks are tops.
Whilst view plastic welding I came across 'Superglue & soda' - this is sooooo useful - it makes superglue work where it normally wouldn't and adds great strength - smashed something and lost some bits - lay the remaining bits out on gaffa tape - fill the voids with baking soda and pour on superglue - sets instantly like opaque glass which can be filed/sanded or drilled.
I'm looking to cast small parts with it using Oyumaru modelling compound.
Window frame makers and woodworkers use an accelerator on one side of the joint and superglue on the other - I had a ripped gaiter that I couldn't glue so I moistened the edges and dipped them in soda and then applied glue - the soda accelerated the curing and bridged any gaps.
Apparently can glue polypropylene.
Great advantages are filling small or big gaps, no setting time, strength and extremely low cost.
Ton of videos on Youtube.
(I won't go on about it being a better varnish than varnish or using it in conjunction with wood glue)
